My best find, in regards to passenger lists, was for the parents and grandparents of my mother-in-love's maternal grandmother, who they called Grandma B (she married a Bushnell). Grandma B's daddy and his parents came to the US in 1866 from Bohemia. Her mother's family came from the same area at about the same time, but I can't find the date at the moment. Thanks to your video and trying to find those records again, I just found a book about the Czech settlers in Nebraska, and it tells where they settled in Nebraska, what section of land became theirs and how much acreage, and also the village, town, and county they came from in Bohemia. I had that for the mother, but not for the father. YAY! I can't wait to hear my MIL's response when she opens up her mailbox later this week!

I always encourage beginners to look at the actual image of the record. There is usually more info available that is not indexed. Learned something new with the "transport" keyword entry in the card catalog. Thank you.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

Yep... going to the actual record rather than the index is a must learn tip for newbies, especially since it's much easier to access than I started out 30 years ago. I'm always happy to hear I shared something new with people in my videos. That is my goal. Either reinforce something you already know or give you something new. Thanks for letting me know that I succeeded with this video.

I never thought about using the passenger manifest as proof of a birthdate! I found my grandmother, aunt, and uncle to be on a manifest fir the banana boat cruise they took to Mexico in 1940. It’s how my aunt and uncle met! Both were divorced and it was fate that brought them together. Now I need to look at it again to see if my grandmother’s birthdate is there so I can use it as a source.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

Cathy, I'm glad to give you new insight. In that time frame, people were using passports. Passports required proof of birth date acceptable to government officials. Thus, it's one piece of evidence that you can use for proving a birth date. Now, remember that good genealogy research gathers multiple sources to point toward the correct answer rather than relying one one source. But, yes, you can use this as part of your birth date proof.

I found many passenger list in the 1600s from England to America, but the ancestor im looking for is not listed on any of them. Is it possible for someone not to be listed, but still have traveled

@suzannemcnamara3454 Год назад

I looked up her address and it turns out that her house is located just 13 minutes away from my childhood home. I don't usually look up other family addresses but I looked it up because I saw that her record mentioned Franklin County. I was born in 1960. Small world.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

What a small world!

To your late point about only finding a city of origin, Devon: This can be useful, even for a larger city. My grandfather, and his mother and brother, arrived from Austria in 1906. Under last residence, however, there were slight differences. My grandfather was listed from one suburb of Graz, which helped me narrow my searches from all of the churches in Graz to those in that suburb. I'm now a full size generations further back thanks to due diligence on that little difference in a ship's record.

Congratulations!!!!

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics correction: six generations

@ABQKLMS Год назад

I was also able to leverage passenger records for military travel. Found the records associated with my father returning from Europe before his father passed away.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

Yay!!!!

My 3x ggf, my 2x ggf & the wife/mother (3x ggm) came from Germany to Baltimore, MD about 1840. No passenger list has been found. Some Baltimore records around that time were destroyed. So were the lists from Bremen. There is a record that some people have connected that only agree on the age of the father (3x ggf). Wife & 3 children accompanied this man of the same name, but they are not my ancestors. I found son's (2x ggf's) index card for naturalization but it has very little info. Any suggestions? I have joked that I am now looking for the plane that he came on.

Hello, I love your channel and I'm passionnate about genealogy ! Unhappily, I've never found one of my ancestors, the first who came in Quebec (Canada), about 1706, in the Passenger Lists, on Ancestry. He was a soldier in the Compagnies franches de la Marine. I don't understand why because I've found many of my other ancestors in the Passenger Lists... but not him. Do you have any idea of what could explain it ?

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

Congrats on finding relatives in passenger lists. My initial reaction is that passenger lists from the 1700s are few and far between. It's also possible he was a stow away, his records were lost or damaged, and so forth. The possibilities for not finding him on a document are nearly endless. If you have done a reasonably exhaustive search for a passenger record from that time period (or even like my ancestors in the 1850s), then record your educated guess as to when he traveled and support that guess with evidence. Does that help?

@veroniquest-martin6493 Год назад

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Yes, I've done an exhausive research about him, and the most curious thing is that his origins are not even mentioned in his mariage act, nor his parents'names.... But I found his name, for the first time, in a deed of land purchase dating from 1706. So, I suppose that he came in Canada around this period. What do you think about all this ?

@patriciajrs46 Год назад

I like your information. Thanks. That brings up a question- how do I tell the search engine to look for a person named Judge, who was not a law judge? It was actually his first name.

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

Very carefully is the short answer. However, you just put the name judge into the given name field. I have a relative named Major Townley. Major is his first name. I get some interesting results. However, I also had to try his initials M.J. because it seemed he preferred that to anything else. Good luck.

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Try this for fun. My step-great-grandmother was Nettie West who lived in Virginia. There is a town named Nettie in West Virginia. It's almost impossible.

@Jan-xp8yi Год назад

What about using Family Search to find those other military records

@FamilyHistoryFanatics Год назад

FamilySearch is a great, and free, website to find additional records. I know that the National Archives often requires known which service member id belongs to our ancestors and passenger records are one way to find those numbers. But absolutely check out FamilySearch.
